Neobank: Revolut erhält weitere Banklizenz – was das für Kunden in Deutschland bedeutet
Die britische Neobank Revolut hat nun auch eine Banklizenz in Frankreich und will in Westeuropa wachsen. Auch für deutsche Kunden kündigen sich dadurch Veränderungen an.
British neobank Revolut has obtained a second bank license in France, expanding its regulatory footprint across two EU nations. Previously, the company operated under a Lithuanian license. Both entities are overseen by the European Central Bank (ECB). While a French license is not strictly regulatory, it signals Revolut's ambition to become the largest and most trusted bank in Europe.
Revolut aims to net eight million customers in West Europe last year alone and plans to hire more staff and open a West Europe headquarters in Paris. The company, founded in 2015, now has around 30 million customers in West Europe, with 8 million in France and over three million in Germany. Thus, the French Revolut bank will gradually serve European customers, with Germany following suit.
